'''Communism''' is a [[left-wing]] anti-democratic and violent ideology dedicated to supposedly overthrow [[capitalism]], replacing it with a unelected "[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]" by [[technocrat]]s and an [[atheist]] elite.  Under Communism, the [[political]] system replaces  [[private property|private ownership]] of the means of production with a supposed "collective ownership" of the [[economy]], but really maintained for the benefit and profit of a corrupt elite. Capitalism is impossible to overthrow because any business, or "means of production," that costs more to operate than the income it produces, i.e. does not turn a profit, will ultimately fail.

The first false dichotomy of communism is the notion that capitalism and communism are competing ideologies. They are not. While communism is built on an [[ideology]] that justifies murder and theft, capitalism is built upon the [[natural law]] that you cannot consume that which has not been not been first produced.

In China, the [[Chinese Communist Party]] retains an autocratic regime controlled by the party, which allows no democracy or dissent.  However it does allow capitalism, and has experienced a very rapid growth of the private sector and the middle class.  Observers expect that the regime's efforts to control public opinion and forestall the will of the people will be more and more difficult.

In March 2009 the [[Obama administration]] announced it would send $50 million to the United Nations Population Fund, or UNFPA. UNPFA actively promotes abortion and is working closely with Chinese population control officials to implement China's forced abortion policy.  The Chinese Communist Party's coercive one-child rule has resulted in forced abortions, involuntary sterilizations and other [[human rights]] abuses.<ref>[https://www.lifenews.com/int981.html Group Confirms Obama Would Fund Forced Abortions if UNFPA Money Restored], by Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com Editor, November 12, 2008.</ref>

[[Adolf Hitler]] noted that Communists made excellent converts to [[National Socialism]] (a.k.a. [[Nazi]]sm), because the same personality type was attracted to both. "[T]here is more that binds us to [[Bolshevik|Bolshevism]] than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists. I have always made allowance for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois [[Social democracy|Social-Democrat]] and the trade-union boss will never make a [[National Socialist]], but the Communists always will."<ref>quoted in Hermann Rauschning, ''Hitler Speaks''</ref> [[Josef Stalin]] also recognized that ex-Nazis and ex-[[fascist]]s were natural recruits for post-war Communist regimes. As Stanley Payne notes in his ''A History of Fascism: 1914-1945'', "All over Soviet-occupied eastern Europe (should be: Central and Eastern Europe), most rank-and-file former fascist party members, together with many lower-level leaders, were welcomed to fill the ranks of the initially exiguous local Communist parties.

3. Overthrow Established Government. Once mob violence becomes widespread and commonplace, condition those who are emotionally involved to accept violence as the only way to "settle the score" once and for all. Provide leadership and training for guerrilla warfare. Institute discipline and terrorism to insure at least passive support from the larger inactive segment of the population. Train and battle-harden leadership through sporadic riots and battles with police. Finally, at the appointed time, launch an all-out simultaneous offensive in every city.</blockquote>
